METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF CONCENTRATED PASTE OF GIRASOL Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC C13K11/00 A23L1/212 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to food industry, in particular, to methods for production of concentrated paste of girasol. The method for production of concentrated paste of girasol involves washing and inspecting root vegetables. Prepared tubers undergo thermal steam treatment under steam pressure equal to 0.8-0.9 MPa during 60-90 sec. Then one removes superficial tissues off the treated tubers, blanches the tubers during 80 minutes at a temperature of 100°C, mills them and performs fermentative hydrolysis at a temperature of 60°C during 40 minutes using Rohapect DA6L enzyme preparation taken in an amount of 0.2% of the puree weight. The produced puree is concentrated at a temperature of 55-65°C under a residual pressure of 10-15 kPa till dry substances content is equal to 50-56%.

EFFECT: invention usage allows to reduce decomposition of fructose generated during hydrolysis in the process of girasol puree concentration, reduction of material and energy costs of the production due to the technological process intensification.
